Asia Eyes Jersey Digital Asset Funds

The digital assets space, similar to the durian fruit, can divide opinion. With a global crypto market cap of USD2.3 trillion as of October 2021, and no signs of slowing down, the hype is real. Digital assets are now beginning to form a permanent feature of investment portfolios, and many managers suggest that the asset class should be making up at least 5% of investor portfolios.

Institutional investors are starting to approach this emerging asset class with serious money – eagerly looking to plug into the digital world, diversify their portfolio and hedge against inflation, but desperately seeking certainty and regulation in an increasingly decentralised world. Fund managers who can find ways to protect investors and mitigate risks are set to reap the rewards.
